"Veracity is subordinate to effect. A beautiful lie beats serviceable truth every time." - Laird Barron (on fiction)

Gods DAMN.

There's a flood of new followers lately that's just an account with a profile pic of a model and no activity. Any ideas how to block this bot bullshit?

Lifelong goal achieved today. A duck came swooping low over the water at the Chinese Gardens, heading straight for the person next to me. I finally got to yell, "DUCK!" and mean *both* definitions simultaneously. Bucket list item ✔️

"This story is a tragedy because it didn't have to end this way."

vs

"This story is a tragedy because it was always going to end this way."

#a REALLY good tragedy is locked in quantum uncertainty between these two states

[warrior-scribe]

Ah, but if a story didn't have to end this way but was always going to, then you really have a tragedy.

My usual barber was closed so I went to a different place. Sitting in the chair and the barber's doing the usual chit chat, asks me what I do for a living. I give him the short version and he says, "Wow, that's cool!" Then there's a silence that needs filling. So I say, "How about yourself?"

"Errr... I'm a barber."

I fucking hate small talk.

i definitely think minecraft won't be the game for everyone in the end and that's just how things are no problem but i do think *some* people who don't get the hype of it just need to play with their friends and build a house with them. its also for doing things like this.

I fucking love Minecraft and have my 9yo to thank for that. You can see my world on Patreon if you're interested.
